However, the moment Dugu Bo saw the herb, his pupils constricted sharply, and his face instantly turned ashen.
"Thump." Dugu Bo stumbled back two or three steps, falling to the ground.
"Whoosh!"
Dugu Bo instantly rose into the air, pointing at the herb in Lu Feng's hand, and shouted sharply, "Boy, are you trying to harm me?"
Dugu Bo had studied most of the immortal herbs in the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well. Only this one, he dared not even touch.
When he first arrived here, he accidentally came into contact with this herb. Unexpectedly, the poison in his body surged, and he almost died on the spot.
From then on, he had developed a deep-seated fear of this herb. He even specially fenced it off.
A black line appeared on Lu Feng's forehead. This old man, was there really a need for him to be so paranoid?
Lu Feng stepped forward, holding up the herb in his hand, and explained, "Old man, this herb is called 'Snowy Swan's Kiss,' and it's not poisonous in itself. Its only effect is to amplify the power of any poison it touches by ten or a hundred times."
He continued, "Can't your soul core convert toxins in your body into soul power? If you take this herb, wouldn't your combat power instantly increase several times over?"
Unexpectedly, Dugu Bo snorted coldly and said righteously, "I think you clearly want to poison me, then take the opportunity to seize my granddaughter, take over my herb garden, and inherit my property!"
"Hoo," Lu Feng slowly exhaled.
Sometimes, Lu Feng really wanted to crack open this old rascal's head to see what he was thinking all day.
"Tch, take it or leave it."
Lu Feng curled his lip, put the herb on the ground, and then turned and left.
Watching Lu Feng walk away, Dugu Bo's eyes darted around, and he shouted, "Kid, are these herbs really alright?"
Lu Feng stopped, a slight smile playing on his lips, and said, "Old man, actually, I'm not entirely sure either. But don't worry, if you die, I'll take good care of Yan Yan. Oh, by the way, what's your proof of ownership at Tian Dou Bank? You can tell me first, and then we can make a will or something, so it doesn't end up benefiting outsiders."
"Hehe, hearing you say that puts my mind at ease."
Dugu Bo chuckled, picking up the immortal herbs from the ground. However, he didn't touch them directly with his hands, but rather enveloped them with his soul power.
"Summon your soul core and absorb the energy from the petals directly. Be careful, don't touch the roots, or I'll have to inherit your fortune with tears in my eyes." Lu Feng teased.
Dugu Bo placed the herbs in front of him and sat cross-legged. A dazzling crystal core rose from his dantian and slowly emerged from his mouth.
As soul power surged, a wisp of crystalline white rose from the petals, coiling around the surface of the crystal core, radiating brilliant light.
Suddenly, the nine soul rings on Dugu Bo's body emitted dazzling brilliance. A low roar like thunder echoed from his throat, and his entire body trembled with a peculiar rhythm.
From his ferocious expression, it was clear that he was enduring immense pain.
"Old man, hang in there!" Lu Feng secretly worried for Dugu Bo.
In truth, giving Dugu Bo this immortal herb did involve an element of gambling.
While the immortal herbs of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well possessed numerous miraculous effects, most immortal herbs were useless to a Title Douluo-level expert.
Soul masters who could cultivate to this level possessed superior martial soul strength, aptitude, and foundation. Take Dugu Bo as an example; his current soul power was as high as level 94, and there were truly few immortal herbs suitable for him.
Lu Feng, considering the characteristics of Dugu Bo's 'Poison Soul Core,' pondered for a long time before finally choosing this herb.
After a long while, Dugu Bo's breathing finally stabilized. A faint white mist rose from his skin, swirling and undulating around his body.
Lu Feng nodded inwardly, letting out a sigh of relief. Then, he took out a black, gelatinous object from his soul tool. It was
Ink Jade Ointment, a unique secret recipe of the Power Clan. Combined with several auxiliary medicinal herbs, it could enhance a soul master's physical strength and resilience in a medicinal bath.

The Soul Masters of the Power Clan are all strong and agile. Besides their genetics and daily blacksmithing training, the Black Jade Ointment plays at least a third of the role. The
Power Clan produces only about ten catties of Black Jade Ointment each year. Dugu Bo ordered five catties at once, which was more painful for Titan than being slapped in the face in public.
"Bang."
A dull thud echoed as a large wooden bucket landed heavily on the ground.
Filled with water, Lu Feng took out several medicinal herbs from his Soul Guidance Device and placed them inside. Soon, a rich medicinal aroma filled the air.
Lu Feng added the Black Jade Ointment to the bucket, and within a few breaths, the liquid turned a deep brown. Casually stirring the liquid in front of him, Lu Feng's nose twitched, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.
"Splash." Lu Feng stripped off his clothes and jumped directly into the tub.
"Hiss!" The icy liquid enveloped his body, causing Lu Feng to shiver involuntarily, but he immediately felt refreshed.
He sat cross-legged, the water level just reaching his chin. His soul power surged, and the medicinal properties in the liquid were slowly absorbed.
Gradually, the liquid in the tub began to heat up. A warm feeling emanated from all directions, a comforting warmth that made Lu Feng's body slightly weak, almost causing him to groan aloud.
After undergoing the Ice and Fire Body Tempering, Lu Feng's physical strength had greatly improved, especially his resistance to elemental attacks.
However, the strength of his muscles and bones had not yet reached its limit.
In the original story, Tang San underwent a period of blacksmithing training after the Soul Master Finals. Under the impact of the waterfall, his body was like a piece of raw iron, forged and refined until it was finally polished to perfection.
Lu Feng used this Jade Ointment to temper his body for the same purpose.
As time passed, the color of the liquid in the tub gradually lightened. After about an hour, the liquid had become completely transparent.
"Splash!"
Lu Feng stood up from the tub and stretched his body forcefully. A series of cracking sounds emanated from his bones, as if his entire body had been stretched out.
For this medicinal bath, Lu Feng used only about half a pound of Black Jade Ointment. According to the formula of the Power Clan, this was already the highest level; any more would be too much for his body to handle, having the opposite effect.
Similarly, this kind of medicinal bath could only be done once a month at most.
At this moment, Lu Feng's muscles had become extremely defined. Beneath his fair skin, a faint yellow halo flowed, making him appear full of power.
Lu Feng used the nearby... After quickly washing his body with water and changing his pants, he began cleaning up the residue in the bucket, shirtless. The
sky was now filled with stars, and the quiet night was occasionally punctuated by the chirping of insects and birds.
Dugu Bo sat quietly cross-legged on the open ground, steadily absorbing the medicinal power of the immortal herb. Only the roots and stems of the snow-white swan's kiss herb remained; its medicinal power had been completely absorbed. Dugu Bo hadn't woken up yet, presumably because he was trying to break through his soul power bottleneck.
Lu Feng took two deep breaths of fresh air and strode towards the cave.
At the Title Douluo level, each seclusion lasted several days. Lu Feng estimated that Dugu Bo wouldn't wake up for at least three days.
"Huh?"
In the distance, Lu Feng noticed that the cave lights were on. When he entered the cave, he found Dugu Yan sitting there alone, looking bored.
Hearing footsteps, Dugu Yan turned to look at Lu Feng.
"Ah! You pervert!"
